Vacancy: Postdoctoral position is available in a project on cryopreservation of ovarian tissues and improvement of cryopreservation by antifreeze proteinsLocation: The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Rehovot, ISRAEL Closing Date: Until filled

We are looking for an enthusiastic and independent excellent researcher to work an exciting project on cryopreservation of bovine ovarian tissues and/or bovine embryos including antifreeze proteins use for improvement of the cryopreservation process. Experience in working with ovarian tissue and/or embryo preservation is preferred. Other relevant experience will be considered. Academic excellence is an advantage. Applications that include CV and contact information of three referees should be submitted to Prof. Ido Braslavsky at ido.braslavsky@mail.huji.ac.il

The successful candidate will conduct basic and applied research and provide technical skills necessary to carry out the goals of a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services entitled: Evaluating Two Decades of Seeds, Spores, and Tissues in CREW's CryoBioBank: Cryostorage as a Tool for Ex Situ Conservation in Botanical Gardens

The candidate will work to recover in vitro tissues from cryostorage, evaluate growth, regenerate culture lines, and re-bank samples. A major focus will be on analyzing the data from this large study in relation to species, genotype, age, original viability, sample preparation, number of replicates, and storage location, and to examine the relationship of these factors to survival. Other duties will include working with Horticulture and Education staff to provide plants from this project and background information for display. Further duties will involve working with other members of the project team, managing staff, preparing scientific papers, reports, and presentations.
